The Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 features multiple access points to enable simple and complete classroom implementation. Advancements include USB- and WiFi-enabled printing, active filament monitoring, a maintenance-free extruder and assisted leveling. A larger building platform enables greater flexibility in designing and scaling 3D models.
To provide students the freedom to design 3D objects remotely, the Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 will be compatible with the new Dremel 3D iOS and Android apps launching in May. The printer can also be used with Print Studio software, enabling students to optimize object design and make modifications based upon functionality.
“As classrooms continue to approach education through hands-on learning, the advancements we’ve made to the Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 provide an unprecedented experience with 3D printing technology,” said George Velez, manager, Dremel 3D Education. “We wanted to give educators and students the ability to engage with 3D printing in a limitless capacity.”
The retail version (3D40-01) includes one Flash Drive with Print Studio software, build tape and environmentally friendly PLA filament. The EDU version (3D40-EDU) includes an added kit with 3D-specific curriculum loaded on a USB, two build plates, extra build tape and four filament spools in a variety of colors.
